Abstract

One well-cited assertion in the literature is a lack of data about health,physicians and their lives in Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century, whichis expected due to deficiency of original resources from that time.Previous studies identified only three physicians without remarkabledata about their lives. This article introduces Abdullah bin Anis, a newphysician who was unknown previously and presented novel informationabout medicine and its practice in Prophet Muhammad’s time (ca609).
